If I were to write a song about predictions, I predict that it might start out this way:
Predictions
are often fictions
That might make us feel more secure.
Tomorrow
Today will follow,
But other details remain unsure.
©️ Ann Koplow, 2024
My current predictions include:
- I am going to give a show of my original songs on June 1.
- There will be a dress rehearsal of that show on May 26.
- The venue is small so I’m going to have to use a ticketing app.
- I will learn what I have to learn to make this all happen.
- Several people I adore will help me create this show and will also attend it.
- I will donate proceeds from the concert and my album to two worthy causes: the suicide prevention organization Samaritans of Boston (where I volunteered before I changed careers in the 90’s) and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI).
- Some people will use bar codes and links (also included in today’s blog) to donate something to Samaritans and NAMI.
- I will learn the medical record software Epic well enough to continue to provide individual therapy and group therapy to my patients,
- My blog post today will include predictions, definitions, quotes, tarot cards, good food, cats, questions, answers, The Daily Bitch, today’s holidays, a YouTube video, and gratitude.

What are your thoughts and feelings about predictions?
Thanks to all who are here, now, for this predictions post, including YOU!
Good luck with the show Anne! I volunteered for samaritans also back in the early 2000’s! A wonderful organisation!
I would have predicted that a wonderful person like you would volunteer for Samaritans, Carol anne!
As Janis once reminded us, tomorrow never comes. It’s always the same damn day.
Thanks for the helpful reminder, Barbara.
In all my readings about the creative process one idea comes up again and again: it’s the work, not inspiration or even necessarily talent, that leads to success. So I think it’s more than just a prediction that your show will be great because you’ve done the work.
I would have predicted a supportive comment like this from you, my friend.
I predict with full certainty, that we never truly know what will happen.
I predict that I will agree with you, beth.
